The power producer posted a net profit of 137.1 million lei (EUR30.8 million), compared with RON423.4 million in 2013, according to its preliminary financial report.
Nuclearelectrica said its sales revenue fell to RON1.68 billion in 2014, from RON1.83 billion the year before, as quantities sold slightly declined. Last year, the company sold 10.8 million megawatts-hour, compared to almost 11 million MWh in 2013.
The result was also hurt by a RON89.4 million charge due to the special constructions tax, introduced in 2014.
Nuclearelectrica operates Romania’s sole nuclear power plant in Cernavoda. The plant’s two reactors cover almost 20% of the country’s electricity consumption, and Nuclearelectrica is planning to open another two 700-megawatt reactors.
